- Salvias, also called sage, are part of the mint (Lamiaceae) plant family. Salvias are known for their strong, pleasant scent and long bloom times, some of which can go from late spring to fall. Salvias are most often perennials but can be annuals as well. Salvia plants are easy to grow and propagate.

Most varieties prefer full sun if they are to flower well. Culinary sage grows well in partial shade and will even flower quite happily.
Rabbits tend to find the aromatic foliage too strong, but deer might go for the new growth if very hungry in early spring.
You certainly can, and this is often the best solution if you live in a cold wet area as you can offer more protection in the winter. Just ensure you put enough drainage material in the pots in the form of crocks at the bottom and grit in the compost. Then ensure they get enough water and feed during the flowering period. They might well need repot...
Salvias are very attractive to bees and butterflies. They are particularly valuable as they offer nectar much later into the autumn.
The tall herbaceous sorts can grow over a metre per year, as they start from ground level each year. If they are happy, they will also clump up nicely at the base. The shrubby ones are much slower growing, and you can prune them each year to keep them to the size you want.
This very much depends on the variety. The annual sorts tend to be quite short (20cm), especially those bred for bedding out. Some of the perennials can get to 1.5m tall.
Again, that depends on where they come from. The Mexican varieties, unless they have been hybridised with something tougher, can be quite tender. What they hate more than cold is wet, so good drainage is all, and read the plant label.
If you live in a cold area and have chosen tender perennials, it can be best to keep them in containers for their first year so that you can bring them in to a more sheltered position for the winter. Once they are a bit bigger and stronger, they can be left outside, but ensure you mulch the roots well. Do not cut them back, however, until the sprin...
As salvias are quite late flowering, they are good partnered with spring bulbs which will be over by the summer, and their scruffy leaves can be concealed by the emerging salvias. We also find that the small leaved types are excellent planted under roses as they seem to prevent black spot and other fungal diseases. They also come into their prime o...
Salvias (ornamental sages) are a must in the summer garden. They come in a vast range of forms and colours, and their nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. They flower for months on end, often from midsummer until the first frosts, and many have aromatic foliage, too.
